My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
I hope you didn’t delete them.

Have you ever been physically attacked by a demon?
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
the blog’s launch date and time
Treasuries Rally on Fed Cut Hopes, Stocks Hit Peak: Markets Wrap - Bloomberg
The first placeholder post is typically headlined “Hello, world!” with no content. Leave it alone. This is your blog’s birth certificate. It helps the search engines to ‘notice’ the launch of your blog.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

Never mind what the Internet is telling you. The starting rate is US$1 per word for a 300–500-word piece (with minimum 3 photos) that’s unique and exclusive to your blog — with a 30%–50% kill rate for submitted but cancelled acceptance.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Email: xxx
If you’re running a hobby-horse blog, you generally don’t pay because then you’d be inviting people to guest-post out of interest.
Comments close on all posts after 28 days. Comments should be in English as far as possible, although all languages are welcomed. Comments once posted cannot be retracted or removed, so please comment at your own risk.

Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect for a blog. It only needs to be reasonably readable — and reasonably formatted (which you still have to do anyway even for a piece written by someone else).

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
It’s that straightforward.

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
The biggest mistake any blogger could make is producing a blog that has no voice — no persona, no personality, no flavour and no perspective behind the words.

I am the author and owner of Ramen Freak. I work in Windows and Linux mobile computing for a boring, colorless, publicly listed corporation in East Coast USA. I live with Janet (my wife since 1985) and two whimsical cats the size of battle tanks in the lush concrete suburbs of Anytown, Anystate. My wife isn’t ‘big’ on noodles though. Oh well…
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
Addressing your question more directly:—
The Ramen Freak is about all things ramen and noodles, Japanese or not. It focuses on traditional as well as “new wave” or “fusion” recipes and discusses protips for creating the “perfect” noodle dish for the noodle aficionado.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
You can expect to pay up to US$7 a word with experienced writers or bloggers (with 10+ years’ experience) — same as magazine writing rates.
Once you’ve done the above, copy and paste the above into a new static page (“About”), edit it here and there, and publish. Add a link into your blog menu for the About.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
